the coneflowers are coming. hurrah. i took several images and layered them in photoshop. would happily do this in-camera but my olympus can only do a double. i changed the opacity of the layers and then wondered what it might be like in monochrome. couldn't choose so i'm posting both!
update september 2020 ...
decided that, after five-and-a-half years on this fabulous site, I should say a little more about myself than the two sentences...
I think I prefer this one. The colour helps to keep the components of each layer somehow connected, even though the other layers show through. I find the B&W tends to merge into a more mixed up, hard to interpret image.
